Amazingly, my toddler, Luke, eats EVERYTHING you put in front of him (except avocados, sadly). I don’t know how we lucked out with such an open-minded, open-mouthed child, but I have great empathy for the parents of finicky eaters. As if simply finding something healthy that children will eat wasn’t hard enough, today we also have to worry about allergies, food recalls, chemical contaminants, packaging, and more. How did the simple act of eating become so difficult?

A lot of parents have told us they’re concerned about these issues and want their family to eat healthier, but have a limited budget. And like all parents, they just don’t have the time to seek out high quality information or research how to make better choices. With all this in mind, we started Eat Healthy, our new program that makes food fast, frugal, fun and eco-friendly! Need a recipe for a kid-friendly salad or want to make your own baby food? Looking for quick tips on safer, healthier foods for children? Concerned about chemicals in cans and plastic containers? Look to Eat Healthy for simple solutions to address our complex world of food.

With tips and ideas from experts like Myra Goodman, cookbook author and co-founder of Earthbound Farm (the world’s largest grower of organic produce), and Raising Baby Green author Dr. Alan Greene, and recipes from celebrity moms such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep and the “Renegade Lunch Lady” chef Ann Cooper, Eat Healthy is a comprehensive, easy-to-read online recipe and healthy food guide. It’s filled with easy, delicious (yet kid-friendly) recipes; essential reading and advice about today’s most worrisome food issues; food and nutrition videos; and even downloadable pocket shopping guides like Healthy School Lunch and Healthy Formula & Food, so you can always keep the wisdom of Eat Healthy with you.

Other Eat Healthy resources include:

Eat Healthy is also an interactive space for parents and caregivers to share their recipes and tips, too. Your child’s favorite snack could be the answer for another mom in search of fun, healthy mealtime ideas. Your low-cost, eco-friendly storage idea may be just the solution for the dad who just purged all his plastics.
